To encounter Maria Aparici’s latest collection is to step into a battlefield where the canvas itself becomes the site of rebellion. This award-winning artist, whose roots trace back to Valencia—the land that birthed the great Joaquín Sorolla—uses her oil-on-canvas works to shatter conventions, challenging both aesthetic traditions and the cultural mores that define femininity in the modern world. Aparici's lineage and formal education, enriched by a sojourn in the United States, lend her work a striking duality: it is both a nod to classical mastery and a bold march into uncharted territories of abstraction, expressionism, and feminist ideology.
